The Jun Chiyabari tea garden is located in the hills above the town of Hile in the Dhankuta district. Divided into five sections at elevations ranging from 1700 to 2100 meters above sea level, it covers an area of 96 hectares. From the very beginning, Jun Chiyabari has been a meticulously planned organic garden project—starting with land acquisition in carefully selected locations, planting chosen cultivars, designing a tea factory, and hiring the best people in the tea industry.

The core philosophy of Jun Chiyabari is respect for tea, people, and nature. Their goal is simply to produce the best possible teas while maintaining organic and environmentally friendly practices, heavily inspired by Masanobu Fukuoka.

In Nepali, Jun Chiyabari means “moonlit tea garden,” and Jun (純) in Japanese means “pure.”
